Every Shot Counts
About this event
In a life-threatening situation, you may only get one chance to act—and one shot to make a difference.
Every Shot Counts is a one-day, marksmanship-focused training course built specifically for teachers, church security teams, school staff, and everyday protectors who have chosen to carry a firearm for the safety of others.
This is not a tactical run-and-gun course. Instead, it focuses on refined accuracy, calm under pressure, and intentional, effective shooting. The class is designed to build a confident, capable defender—someone who can deliver precision when everything is on the line.
Through structured drills and scenario-based reps, students will gain the skills, mindset, and composure needed to respond to threats with accuracy and control.
